Mind Over Water

2015 Golden Oars Awards

Last night, the fifth annual Golden Oars Awards were held in NYC to honor the best of the best in rowing. As we all know, rowing is a demanding sport that we all survive and obsess over. Getting up before the sun rises in the mad dash rushing to water before wiping the sleep from our eyes begins many a long day and strong pull toward excellence. That is why we honor the best of the best in not who pulls the hardest but to those who consistently pull far and away from rowers who already give their all too. That takes a lot of excellence.

Congrats and oars to celebrate those honored with the 2015 Golden Oars Award for their outstanding performance and contribution to the sport of rowing:

Steve Gladstone, USRowing Medal

Seth Weil, Male Athlete of the Year

Megan Kelmoe, Female Athlete of the Year
